Stanley

[Verse 1 ]

I'm in the kitchen

Making the dinner that I know you like

And I've been cleaning this damn house

All day and all night

But you don't pay me no attention, Stanley

I'm needing your attention, baby

Just show me some appreciation

Or maybe take a bitch to dinner

[Pre-Hook]

Sometimes make me feel special, Stanley

I really shouldn't have to tell you, baby

This isn't how you treat a lady

Don't you know you got a winner?

[Hook]

I don't know why I waste my time

When you don't care how hard I try to make you smile

(If you ain't careful) You gon' lose a good thing

You gon' lose a good thing

[Verse 2]

I try to dress up

And look like something just to turn you on

I'm spending money I don't got

Because you used to like my hair red, my nails done

But you don't pay me no attention, Stanley

I'm needing your attention, baby

Just show me some appreciation

Or maybe take a bitch to dinner

[Pre-Hook]

Sometimes make me feel special, Stanley

I really shouldn't have to tell you, baby

This isn't how you treat a lady

Don't you know you got a winner?

[Hook]

I don't know why I waste my time

When you don't care how hard I try to make you smile

(If you ain't careful) You gon' lose a good thing

[Bridge]

I try so hard to be good to you, Stanley

But why don't you care and you take me for granted?

You know I love you but I'm getting tired

You might get burned cause you're playing with fire (Fire)

All you do is go to the bar

Worrying 'bout that rusty car

Mess around, you're gonna lose my heart

And another man is gonna do your part

[Outro]
